NH Lawsuits Filed Against Equifax Transferred to Another Court

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Two federal lawsuits filed in New Hampshire against credit monitoring company Equifax over a massive data breach have been transferred to the court in Georgia.

Numerous lawsuits seeking class-action status have been filed against Atlanta-based Equifax. The lawsuits filed in New Hampshire request a trial and seek a lifetime of credit monitoring and identity theft protection services from a different company. They were among 76 civil actions transferred to the Northern District of Georgia for consolidation.

The plaintiffs and others suffered as a result of the breach and had to pay for credit reports, credit freezes, monitoring services and other protective measures following the release of their personal information.
